Aciloa j^alatinus ferruyinvsa, 8ul)sp. n. 

 Differs from typical palatinus and the race palatinoides in 

 liaviiig the grouiiil-coluur of fore wings above much redder; 

 the submarginal reddish-brown spots of liind win.r u,e tri- 

 anguhir and touch at their bases ; tiie ground-colour of the 

 tore wing below is uniform dull orange, without the brown 

 apical area of the other forms. I,, palatinus and its known 

 races the costal black patch contains an orange patch at its 

 lower end ; in the new race the costal patch is entirely black 

 and there are two black spots bt-tween veins 2 and 3, of 

 which the upper is the larger. Jlind wing below similar to 

 that of palathius, but moro reddish in tint, the submarginal 

 band black.

Aciloa superba'.orientalis, subsp. n. 

 This race differs from the figure given by Strand in 8eitz, 

 Giossschmett. Erde, vol, vi. p. 11, pi. v. a (1913), in havin>'- 

 the fore wing considerably darker. Strand's figure shows a 

 discal area pale yellow; in the new race this area is dark 

 plumbeous grey and corresponds to the colour of the sub- 

 la sal area of Strand's figure. The subapical spots are not 

 of equal size, the lower being twice that of the upper ; the 

 yellow band of hind wing is narrower and the marginal sj)ots 

 smaller and well separated. Straml does not tigure the 

 underside, and his description {loc. cit. p. 12) is very short ; 

 I therefore give a detailed description of the new race: — 



Fore wing : basal third orange-brown ; a large costal black 

 patch at end of cell, subbasal black patch on vein 2 ; median 

 band yellow, becoming orange towards costa, apical area dark 

 brown, subai)ical pale spots as above ; a submarginal black 

 band, commencing on inner margin and extending or gradu- 

 ally narrowing to a point to vein 6 ; this band inwardly 

 edged with narrow orange band and outwardly with orange 

 patches. 



Hind wing yellowish white, with wide, marginal, reddish- 

 brown border ; submarginal spots as above, but more yellow ; 

 black patch at anal angle ; obscure reddish-brown patch on 

 discal area extending from costa to cell.
